Sabic fertiliser subsidiary to pay $454m dividend

Sabic Agri-Nutrients, which is 50 percent owned by Saudi Basic Industries Corporation, will pay a dividend of SAR1.7 billion ($454 million) after net profit and revenues recorded significant growth in 2025. 

The fertliser company’s dividend payout stands at 35 percent of the total share capital, or SAR3.5 per share, the company said in a statement to the Saudi stock exchange on Sunday.

Revenue rose 18 percent year on year to SAR13 billion in 2025, as average selling prices increased by 16 percent and sales volumes rose by 2 percent.

Net income increased by 30 percent to SAR 4.3 billion from SAR 3.3 billion in 2024.

The topline rose 6 percent year on year to SAR3.2 billion, while net profit grew 4 percent to SAR988 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The company expects winter gas rationing in different countries, China’s limited presence on the export market and conflict-related damage to several Russian facilities to outweigh the impact of newly commissioned urea capacity in other regions in Q1 2026.

However, ammonia supply is expected to improve towards the end of the quarter as production outages are resolved and new capacities in the US are commissioned, the statement said.

Shares of Sabic Agrinutrients were trading at SAR121 early on Monday. The price is up about 10 percent in the year to date.

In June 2020, Saudi Aramco acquired a 70 percent majority stake in Sabic, which also trades on the Saudi bourse, for $69.1 billion. The remaining 30 percent is publicly traded on the Saudi stock exchange.
